The Peugeot 201 was a bold marketing move at a time when the general public simply couldn't afford a car. Released in 1929 during the Depression, no one expected the car to be the success it was - but it managed to keep the company afloat, and managed to outsell almost all of its contemporaries. The trick was to advertise its austerity - and in the 8 years it was on the market, nearly 150,000 units were sold.
The 201 also occupies a special place in motoring history, as it was the first model to feature the now iconic Peugeot numbering system with a central '0', and the 201 'C', launched in 1931, is often regarded as one of the first production cars with independent front suspension.
This particular example has been meticulously maintained and restored to a very high standard, with the bodywork and paintwork in very good condition. The wood-effect dashboard, which is actually aluminium and beautifully painted, is particularly striking. All in all, this is a superb French classic that can do any collection proud.
This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or placing a bid, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.
✓ We require a non-refundable fee to be paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.
✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
✓ Buyers are responsible for the collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third party transport company who can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email [email protected].
